Pathophysiology

[SunkissedRN2b]

To the people who have taken it, do you recommend it as a course to take after AP1 or 2?

[SunkissedRN2b]

My current school doesn't require it but I wouldn't mind taking it if it will help me in the long run.

My school combines Pathophysiology and Pharmacology into one course. I think it's best to have taken A&P I and II prior to taking Pathophysiology because in order to understand the abnormal processes occurring in the body, you must understand the normal processes.

Honestly I don't think it matters. I took A&P 1 and 2 before patho or pharm and I did just fine in all of them, and in nursing school ?

I'm taking it this summer. I'm not sure how other schools do it, but at my school we have to take it after A&P I and II are completed, but before we start the nursing program.

Good day, Kryptonite:

While my school doesn't require it, I've signed up for it this coming fall. If one takes it, our school requires that one first passed AP2 with a passing grade (i.e. C or higher).

Thank you.

Thank you all for chiming in.

I think I'll wait until after I've completed AP2.
